First on the agenda was Nina Langley requesting permission to paint three-foot long footprints from the entrance into the High School track and football field on North Indiana Street back south as far as the paint will go for the Morgan County North Relay for Life. This will be the fourth year for the event. It will beheld on June 6 & 7. The twenty-four hour team walking relay is to raise money for cancer research. Dave Davis is the chairman and the thought was to get more people involved and to have a theme.' The fvrst thought was to paint the road purple and then decided on purple footprints. Street Superintendent Joe Beikman suggested the committee talk to G & C Paint in Plainfield for paint that would last a little longer than regular paint. A motion was made by Councilman Warthen, second by Councilman Mathis to give permission to paint with the cv-ordination of the Street, Fire, and Police Departments for safety reasons. Motion carried 5-0. Mosquito Insecticide Pricing was next on the agenda for spraying June 1$` thru September 30~' (17 weeks). The price for treating of catch basins is new this year.

They do not reflect price of spraying time labor (two men times 4 hours per spraying.) Jae Beikman, Street Superintendent, told the council the larvicide really needed to be used in the catch basins because if the mosquitos could be caught before flying we would have better control. Councilman Mathis said he wanted 1 tame a week spraying and then hit the catch basins hard. The councilmen were all in agreement and want Joe Beikman to buy materials and get brochures to be mailed aut to the residents. The Clerk- Treasurer's Office will help with the brochures. __ c~.'
